Fuck the environment! The earth will live on. Those who are asbestos and lead resistant will be selected for, and evolution continues. Quit whining about the environment. Adapt and overcome.
But next will be: Person dead after hospital ran out of tubes with red stripe : (AP) John Doe dies this morning when the hospital ran out of red stripe tubes. When asked why they didn't use a green one, they replied: "It's cheaper for the survivors to sue us than for us to be seen not following a government mandated color coding scheme."
From what I understand, nickel (used in Prius batteries) mining is much more polluting than burning hydrocarbons. (Which the Prius still does occasionally)
There is more to enviromental impact than what comes out of the tailpipe...
You haven't specified any measurable criteria for what makes one "better" at sex than another. Thus sucess/failure is a perfectly reasonable delimiter. Multiple successful couplings would imply that the female has bee sufficiently satisfied that there have beeen repeated sessions. -or- Dan is a rapist, his wife is against abortion -or- All his children have been produced in the lab
To be rational, you would also ask why we are having "life" sentences at all? If there is no possibility of making this individual a functioning part of society for its expected lifetime, then why don't we free those resources? Send their consciousness to/dev/null. Save our efforts for those who may be rehabilitated.
So... Couldn't one just find out the hash values of the pieces of the files they are downloading and generate random data until the hash value matches?
Slow, yes. Generating a movie randomly? Priceless..
So it's a more precise version of Fuck off. If someone tells you t bugger off, they are implying that you fuck off in a specific way. Someone who is buggering off, is also fucking off. The inverse may not be true.
It isn't the cause, it's the vehicle. Some people are assholes. They would be assholes with or without a religion. Some people are willfully ignorant. They would be so without religion. Religion is a way for assholes to gain the support of and to control the willfully ignorant.
The problem here ist the underlying assumption that using anonymous registration makes you a spammer.
Using bittorrent makes you a pirate too. And being muslim makes you a terrorist and being old makes you wnat to have a nice (unfootprinted) lawn... etc.
I think politics and internet knowledge are 2 completely different domains. Chances are that anyone who is fluent with the latter will not be able to make it in the former.
That said, Politics is social engineering at it's finest.
Another issue remains, to most of the young folks, the internets comprise of facebook, twitter, youtube, and places google tells them to go. I would bet that they understand the internet about as well as they understand the global cellular network.
I used to work in construction, so I'll put it this way: Let's say you are building a vertical reinforced concrete column. The plans say you need 6 bundles of #6 reiforcement with such and such spacing. If the builder puts in 6 bundles of #6 bar and doesn't notice one of the bars is cracked, but the building inspector that is supposed to inspect the bar before the pour fails to notice it, and the column buckles under 150% load, do you sue the guy who put in the bar to oblivion?
This is what we are talking about. Holding a code monkey liable for a QA'd piece of shipped software that is being used improperly.
Drunkenness doesn't CHANGE your sense of humor. It reduces inhibition. Thereby allowing you to use your repressed sense of humor.
Take, for example, toilet humor. It's not funnier when you are drunk. The social safeties have been released, allowing you to laugh. If you want to know how someone really feels, get them bareley abmulatory.

I drive a car worth less than my laptop. 1985 sprint, no first gear, no AC. manual 45MPG doubt I could sell it for $500.
I consider it the meatspace version of free(3).
free(*convicted);
freeing up resources that the rest of the program (society) can use.

I've been reading a Brief History of Time lately and this shit is insane.
You think that is insane? Read Penrose's "Road to Reality" next!

Now get off my lawn.
What make you so sure time has only a single direction? Perhaps you can only perceive those moving through time in the same direction as you...
Corporate barbie says competing is HARD!!
How do you tell the difference between condoning free will 100% of the time and complete indifference?
If there was a law against murder, but it was never procecuted, that would make the law useless, no?

Or this piece is a Chinese govenmet sanctioned bit of propaganda. They WANT you to think that it's some individual...
If it's any consolation, I'm sure none actually makes it to the artist.
